Fire Station #27 opened in 1948. It has 2 full bays and contains 4,564
square feet. Through the years, most development in the area has been residential-large
homes, a few apartment complexes and more recently high-rise condominiums
and office buildings.
In the mid-1940s, before Engine 27 ran out of a small garage on Preston
Road. Firefighters assigned to that apparatus slept in a former flower shop
60 to 70 feet away. At that time, the only structure along Northwest Highway
was a water tower; there were a few stores on the two lane Preston Road.
What is today North Dallas, was then rural countryside.
When the present #27 first opened, it was not well received by neighbors.
The firefighters worked hard for acceptance-even sending flowers to sick
and bereaved families in their district. Before long, the firefighters were
considered friends.
